> potentially forcing them to close in the near future.

If people are starting to realize a BA in sociology or history is guaranteed to leave them with tens of thousands in student loan debt, but unlikely to lead to higher income to help pay those debts, there are a lot of departments at least that might dwindle.

Just a few years ago people on the internet were still shouting "I went to university for an education not a job. If I wanted a job I'd go to f*cking trade school!" I'm sure some still do, but I see that argument less often.

(also slightly offensive to people studying computer science, engineering, accounting, etc. - that's not "trade school")

Hahaha OKAY, you win! Can't compete with London, KY for sure. 😅

3 different Tim Burton movies!

Is that tuition only, or with room and board? (US costs, at least for Title IV purposes, include room, board, transportation, etc)

Pretty sure it is straight up average by school.

So if school A has 100,000 students and a total cost of $30k, school B has 500 students and a total cost of $50k, and school C has 20 students and a total cost of $100k, the average comes out at $60k despite only 20 students actually paying more than that.

Iowa is so high because there are only 3 public 4-year schools in the state and over 30 private 4-year schools. When you take the average by school instead of by student, that means that the more expensive private schools are going to drive the average.

This is also why the in-state and out-of-state are so close as most of the private schools probably do not have an in-state discount.

(Oregon has 7 public schools to 21 private. Vermont has 5 public schools to 11 private, but 4 of the public are considered a single system and so it might only be a 2 public schools for the purpose of this data source, even though all 4 have separate Title IV listings.)

The text says it is only 4-year degree granting institutions, and it is average by institution, not by student.

(Part of the reason Iowa is so high is there are only 3 public 4-year schools in the whole state and over 30 private 4-year schools.)

College towns are often expensive to live in. Many colleges require students to live in dorms with a food plan for one or two years. The dorm plus food plan is generally much more than a budget conscious person would otherwise spend on housing and food.

My oldest is currently living at home and attending community college with the hope of transferring to the local university after 2 years. We will pay nothing more for his housing and food than we did when he was in high school. His brother hopes to go straight to a 4 year college anywhere but near home. We will save nothing on housing with him gone, have modest food savings of roughly $2000/year and shell out probably $10k-20k per year for food and housing depending where he goes and whether he stays in dorms or rents a room off campus.

Cost of Attendance includes room and board, as well as transportation, books & supplies, and other fees. So it is Cost of Attendance; it is not just tuition.

Ah, but maybe bad gift givers more often refused to respond!

London, KY is the most depressing thing.

A Grand/Thousand/K

Yep, nobody wants to stay in Fake London during the Holidays. It must be the most depressing thing.

I'm totally not surprised. There are so many people from France in Montreal and they all seem to go back to France during the holidays.

i do wanna visit Atlanta someday

And that it's only USA and Canada

Serious question, are there statistics on gang numbers by city? Seems like a tough thing to put a number on.

Most travel to visit family. The cities highest on the list are mid priced suburbs on the outskirts of a larger more expensive area. London visits Toronto, Sacramento visits San Francisco etc.

Nobody wants to celebrate that they live in Sacramento

Actually I think they made it up to #3 or #2 public university. Which is weird, because when I went there it was #1 on the list of playboy party schools. It certainly wasn't great regards education.

Title is kind of misleading. It should probably include that this is for transit only. Interesting though

Living near Philly, why would someone from NYC go to Philly or Boston for Christmas? What's the draw?

I obtained much of the data from Wikipedia's List of English words of Spanish origin. I think the answer here may depend, at least in part, on how the term "origin" is interpreted. Unfortunately, my usage of this term seems to have resulted in a lot of misunderstanding.
